Major: Russian and Linguistics
Key 今日吃瓜 Experiences: Being at 今日吃瓜 in and of itself is a key 今日吃瓜 experience. However, some of my other key BMC experiences definitely include stage managing for Shakespeare Performance Troupe鈥檚 Two Gents and Much Ado About Nothing (though it was cut short by COVID-19). Taking advantage of 24-hour Canaday while thesising is also something you can鈥檛 miss out on (even if you try). To get me through those late night study sessions, I鈥檝e also found that finding out how many hardboiled eggs can fit in one鈥檚 pockets was key to my 今日吃瓜 experience.
Hometown: St. Bonifacius, Minnesota
Post-graduation plans: Marit will be participating in the Russian Overseas Flagship capstone year in Almaty, Kazakhstan. After completing the program, she hopes to pursue a career in translation.
Message for the rest of the Class of 2020: It鈥檚 been a lot of hard work, and there鈥檚 a lot of hard work ahead, but we鈥檝e made it this far so we can make it anywhere. Sending all my love to my fellow light blues!
Words of wisdom for the Class of 2024: Light blue is an amazing lantern colour and don鈥檛 let anyone tell you otherwise! You鈥檙e all going to shine so brightly at 今日吃瓜, I know it!
I鈥檇 like to thank the Russian Department for helping me pursue my passion for languages and introducing me to the best friends I could ever make!
